Officer Farrell arrested yesterday Charles
Smith. alias California joe" and Charles
Howard on a charge of burglary, preferred
bv J. Kinkade The parties make bust
ness of driving around the country pur-
chasing and collecting old Junk and second
hand articles, obtainable for small sum,
and bringing them to the city for sale. On
one of his recent trips Howard got table
of peculiar constitutional homemade
table, as it were, with various dips and
spurs and angles" and convenlences OF
various kinds, not usually found combined
in such piece of furniture, and evldenclng
that the manufacturer of it had great
head on him." 1t was not large and cum
bersome. and vet it was so ingeriously con-
triyed that it could be used for ordinary
household purposes or changed into sheep
corral. Shortly after it came to Sacramento,
Kinkade discovered that some one had
raided his house. about six miles
from Woodland, and appropriated his
pet table. By dint of inquiry
he ascertained that a piece of property re-
selnbling that stolen from his premises
had been seen coming toward the city, and
he followed it. warrant was sworn out
for the arrest of Howard and Smith, and
by the aid of a search-warrant the lost
property was recovered, one OF the men
having it in his room. Howard accounts
for the possession of it by stating that
while he was on his last trip be stopped at
a house near Woodland, where he met
man who told him he had stove to sell,
and took him to another cabin short dis
lance off, where the stove was shown. 1t
proved to be too old to be worth purchas-
ing, but Howard, observing the table, asked
the man what he would take for it, and he
replied 81. He was finally persuaded to
take 50 cents, and the table was added to
Towards load. 1t is now at the station
house, posing as bone Of contention, and
can be seen by visitors on their contrib
uting small sum to fund for the ben
eft of the members of the police force who
may be forgotten at the election of officers
next April.

AT the last general election John Shan
non was a candidate for Justice Of the
Peace in Granite township (Folsom), and,
receiving more votes than his opponent,
was declared by the Board of Supervisors
to have been duly elected. He failed to
qualify within the time provided by law,
however, having, as he claims, been dis
abled by reason of illness, and ]. H.
Sturges, who was the incumbent of the
offi6, held on to it, until his successor
should be elected and qualified" Acting
on the basis that his failure to qualify had
left the Office vacant, Mr.. Shannon yester
day petitioned the Board of Supervisors to
appoint him to it. Mr.. Sturges also pre-
scented his claims, accompanied by petit
ton of residents of the township for his
retention in Office. Judge J. II. McKune
appeared as counsel for Shannon, and A.
NJ. Johnson for Sturges and the matter
was argued at considerable length. Judge
McKune read an opinion of the Attorney
General, to the effect that under the cir
cumstances there was vacancy, which the
Supervisors could proceed to fill, but the
members Of the Board concluded to have
further legal light, and referred the matter
to the District Attorney for his opinion as
to the vacancy proposition.

A State Official Who Has Written a
Peculiar Will.
Tuesday evening the guests of an up
town hotel were favored with frst-class
free exhibition of what whisky will do for
men who are not overburdened with brain
in their sober moments, and who have an
exceedingly large amount of vanity and a
desire to ape anything that is English,
you know" Perrie kewen, the Deputy
Acknowledgement of the State OF California,
was one of the actors, the other young
man from the wicked city" of San Fran
cisco. The pair arrived from the Bay On
the o'clock evening train, and repaired to
the dining-room of the hotel to partake OF
lunch. The door leading to the hotel
Office was open. Loud and angry words
attracted the attention of those in the
office, who discovered the men standing in
a belligerant attitude, the Deputy Adjutant-
General gesticulating in the widest and
most extravagant manner, a large derr1nger
loaded to the muzzle in his hand, which
he was irving to urge the other man to
take and shoot him. Pm brave man"
cried the military gentleman. II you
think am not brave take this derringer
and shoot me- made my will four years
ago, and there is $1,000 in it for the man
who takes my life. I'm of the purest
blood. l beg of you, my dear fellow, to
take this gun and kill me-"
After some halt an hour of such exhibi.
ton the gentleman took the pistol, placed
it in his pocket, refusing to kill kewen, as
the latter begged him TO do, and retired.
The curtain dropped, and the audience was
disappointed. They enjoy plays , where ,sne
having tragic end, as all expected and
hoped it would, it did not come up to their
About midnight Kewen called at the
hotel and tried to get the return of his muir
derous derringer from the man who refused
to slay a State official. The latter refused
to surrender the gun, which the Deputy
Acknowledgement said was an heirloom IN
his family. The gentleman who had pos

fused to be disturbed, and advised the Dep
uty Adiutant- General of the State of Cali

THE MIKADO.
"A Brilliant Party Given by the Plaisir
Club Last Evening.

A Brilliant Party Given by the Plaisir
| Club Last Evening.
The Mikado party given by the members
of the Plaisir Club at Turner Hall last
evening was, to put it mildly, brilliant
success-an innovation on the usual dress
ball, and highly enjoyed by all who par
ticipated. As the name indicates, it was
japanese dress affair, and the ladies never
looked prettier than they did in their loose
and peculiarly-cut Oriental costumes. 1t
would be vain to attempt-at least on the
part OF plain, ordinary ws-gatherer-to
describe the costumes of the ladies. Their
flowing sleeves, full, short skirts of quaint
figured and delicate-colored material, the
style OF hair-dressing with Japanese orna-
raents, is, in the opinion of the reporter, at
least decided improvement on the cos
tunes usually worn at dress parties, and he
would suggest to the ladies of Sacramento.
whose forms and features were so much en-
HANGED by this peculiar style of dress, that
they look to Jeddo in the future and not to
Paris for their fashions. The attendance
was large, the dance music was excellent,
while the hall was most deliberately deco
rated with emblems suggestive of the home
OF the Mikado. An immense Japanese
umbrella was suspended from the
center of the hall, while another
of equal proportion did duty upon the
music stand. The glass globes around the
electric lights were pink, 'ch threw
mellow tinge over the britt spectacle,
causing the ladies to look like genuine
japanese beauties. The costumes, as rule
were of itch material-light colors of pink
and blue being the most numerous, while |
many were of white. The gentlemen wore
the conventional black none of them APP
parently desiring to clothe themselves in |
the habiliments of a japanese statesman and |
none of them desiring to shave portion |
of their heads to procure the genuine head |
dress, although several were present who |
would not have had to go to tonsorial |
artist for that purpose. The management
of the party consisted Of the following
citizens: President, Mikado; |
Vice-President, Pooh Bah; Secretary, Ko |
Ko; Treasurer, Nank Poo.

The Boom is Coming.

During the past few weeks there have
been number of agents here representing
parties in the East who desire to locate
in colonies in this section Of tie State
Several tracts in this county of choice and
fertile land are available for that purpose
and are offered at prices which make them
rare bargains for colonization purposes
Yesterday Colonel A. II. Pickering, of
Chicago, accompanied by his wife, arrived
from the East, and during the day were
the guests of Colonel James McNasser
They left on the afternoon train
for VIVA, where they go to take
look at the largest vineyard
in the world. They also will visit
Chico, Red Bluff and Oroville before
their return. In an interview with rep
resentative of the RECORD UNION Colonel
Pickering stated that he represented $50
families, the heads of which were men of
means, who desired to purchase homes not
in Southern California, but in the valley of
the Sacramento. They know of the fertil-
ity of the soil, of the superiority of the eli
mate, and all they desire is to secure good
location They had read in the citrus
RECORD UNION a description of the Card
well tract of 1900 acres in this county, and
on his return next week he should visit
that land, and if the terms could be agreed
upon it would likely soon be occupied by a
hundred thrifty farmers and their families.
The Colonel has been on the coast before,
and knows California from San Diego to
Shasta, and says the immigrant from the
East who wishes to place his money in
lands that will be a paying investment are
coming to this section.
